Read the Constitution.
Puck.


1t is the plain duty of every American citizen to
read the Constitution of the Unitod States. 1t is
duty which most American citizens nowadays neglect
You will not End one man of hundred taken at
random who has clear idea of the contents of that
document. It sound like wild statement. yet
may deliberately say that to the mass of American
voters the Constitution is as unfamiliar as the Rig
Vedas the Koran. Certainly only very few of
our fore born citizens know anything about it. To
them it is name-a vague abstraction. They hear of
laws that declared unconstitutional by the courts;
they hear Of rights guaranteed by the Constitution,
and they probably take it to be a complicated
code comprehensive only to lawyers and experienced
legislators. These is hardly who reads THESE
lines who would not be the better for getting
of the Constitution and reading it through 1t is not
a formidable work. It is ENTHUSIASTICALLY brief
when it. vast scopeia considered. It is written in
plain and simple Engsh-not in lawyers English;
but in such language plain men may understand
1t is document of detail; it is statement of
principles. 1t is simple, direct clear and consistent
In all its parts. And yet within its few pages YOU
may find the guiding principle of this countrys life.
You may find. indeed the history of this countryside
history of the past and tina history of the future For
it is on the lines laid down in this wonderful work
that the Republic has grown; it is those lines thatt
must grow in future: When the American people
forswear the principles of their Constitution. they
must cease to be nation. On other basis
this vast expanse of territory retain national
